SCPI
 |
SCPI is the name for a world-wide defined software interface to communicate with programmable testers.
The abbreviation stands for: Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Commands_for_Programmable_Instrumentation |
SCHLEICH uses this kind of communication at its tester family GLP2-ce. With this possibility you are able to contact the tester directly . This can be done with different programs like for example LabView. As we use this world-wide standard it is easy and done very rapidly to develop and create communication routines.
This offers a considerable efficient advantage. You achieve your aim faster.
